FINALLY READY FOR 2018

WOW, it's 2018!

I know you are probably thinking.... DUH! It has been 2018 for a couple of weeks now and you are just now realizing it. Nah. I've realized it, I just haven't taken the time to rethink about the good, bad, lessons, tests, blessings, hurt and love that 2017 has brought. Sometimes it takes people longer than others to reflect over a year. And that is okay! Reflection is important because it allows you to acknowledge that there was growth. Even if the growth was minuscule, it is still growth.

As I reflect on 2017, I realized that it was an overall great year! I traveled to a few places, attended several graduations, became intentional with my relationships, connected with old friends, met some new friends, started grad school, stood by one of my best friends as she married the love of her life, saw my sister get engaged, tried new things, let go of some "ships" that should have not even left the dock, created a place where I can be free, checked some goals off my list and finally experienced real peace. 

So, 2018, I know it has been twelve days, fourteen hours, thirty-five minutes, twenty seconds and counting, but I am finally ready!
